The N.Y. Cake Show started on July 1st, 2013, at the New York Cake & Bake Supply warehouse in Yonkers and has grown substantially in just a few years. The Cake Show has attendees from a variety of vendors and magazines, offering eager cake artists an opportunity for networking and self-promotion. The show's founder, Lisa Mansour, created the event with the intention of developing an outlet to foster growth within the cake industry. Lisa believes strongly that every cake competition that a decorator enters is a learning experience for the competitor; giving them the opportunity to learn new techniques and push themselves to think differently. All-in-all, the N.Y. Cake Show is truly designed with the cake artist in mind, with careful consideration placed on how can this show help competitors to further develop; giving them opportunities they may have not yet had before. As a result, when developing her cake show, it was essential that competitors have the ability to not only receive scores for their work, but speak with the judges and request feedback, so they can learn for future competitions. Lisa takes careful consideration when selecting judges, it is essential that they be forward thinking and innovators – she looks for the best in the business. Aside from cake artists, the show aims to elevate the cake + baking industry as a whole, giving people a front row seat into the best in the industry, educating the community on how to get started and involved, and allowing people worldwide to experience the magic of baking. **We are looking for partners and sponsors for this event - if this would be of interest to you, please email me at nycake1@yahoo.com
